coinflip cards are usually rare. every set needs a crap rare.

It's a red Blinking Spirit or Fleeting Image

That's not very frenetic.

Why would I ever want to return this? Your opponent is unlikely to terror this so why even bother with a 50/50 chance of getting your bad rare back to your hand? The idea and flavor text are kinda funny but that's about it.

This ability just means that it has a 50% chance of not dying to removal. But it is still poorly costed and weak. It's not the ability that makes it bad. The art is quite funny, though.

Thats What I Call A 4 Star

He's clearly about to snap his own neck.

So back in the day, you had the same chance of opening a Tolarian Academy as you did this thing.

An Urza's Saga rare that isn't ridiculously overpowered. I guess they DO exist.

@Azuredrake89: Back in the day, combat damage went on the stack; its ability allowed it to kill creatures in combat while still having a 50% of avoiding a trade.

But yeah, its ability is much worse now. It's much more likely to be hit with Wrath of God or Pyroclasm than with targeted removal, but its 50% survival rate is still relevant there. Other than that, it's decent at getting Chance Encounter up and running (stack the abilities; you'll keep flipping even after it is returned or sacrificed).

Regardless, I wish it had haste.

Okay, 3/2 that can dodge removal. Otherwise it is a vanilla 3/2 for 4. Limited filler.

But its in the rare slot. Urza saga had junk rares and limited crap too, didnt stop the block from being broken as sh*t
